Hi, tyre setup tubeless which after a puncture has sealed, I have applied a small amount of super glue to seal the outside as well. Is this safe? Or should I replace the tyre? Many thanks

if it has tubes (inner) and the tubes are good and sealed u dont need to worry about the exterior
If it feels on the borderline of potentially reopening on a ride, you can patch it from the inside. [Lezyne](https://www.performancebike.com/lezyne-tubeless-pro-plugs-6-pack-1-pk-ptblspo-v104/p1453605?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_id=17393956213&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyNawqKz6iwMVxptaBR2taRGqEAQYAiABEgI0TfD_BwE) makes patch/plug kits similar to what you’d use on a car tire that work great.
I’ve never used tubeless, but i’m pretty sure glue on the outside won’t do anything to protect the tire, just like with cars, you have to patch from the inside.
Doesn’t look big enough to have affected too many threads, so you should be fine.
Patch from the inside (do a proper cleanup of the area first), or plug the hole with a dynaplug or similar.
